A poem by Edwina Gateley

I must believe that somewhere,

In the mess or madness of it all,

There is a sacred potential –

a possibility of wondrous redemption in the embracing of all that is.

For on the unfolding of my journey, in all its soaring delight

And crushing pain,

I may be sure that God is there –

Always ahead, behind, below, and above,

Encompassing all that befalls me

in a circle of deep compassion.

And there,

Above the darkness

That wraps me round

The bright wings of the Dove

In the gentle healing love

An invitation to

New Rising.

Be patient and accepting

of whatever is happening

in your life right now.

There will be meaning.
